Aeternums are great PC's. For whatever reasons they are not well known. Great value for the money & a very unique & safe elliptical lid locking design. Does yours also have the secondary valve which exhausts steam for several minutes at startup? To me that is one of the best features a pc can have. (eliminates foaming) It can be manually accomplished on many pc's but having the automatic valve is great. I don't have one but a friend has had one for around 8 years & uses it just about every day.
